Our Family

At the age of 10, Dr. Peggy Keng knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. " I have always loved animals.  I would bring home every stray cat and dog, try to raise every baby bird that would fall out a nest, and keep every lizard in a shoe box feeding them bugs!"

Dr. Keng obtained her Bachelor's in Biological Sciences from the University  of California, Irvine, a Master's of Animal Science from California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University in St. Kitts in 2003.  She also became IVAS certified in veterinary acupuncture in 2009.
